Stantonbury Camp is the site of an Iron Age hill fort near Stanton Prior within the parish of Marksbury in Somerset, England.

Hill forts developed in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age, roughly the start of the first millennium BC.

[2] Archaeologist Barry Cunliffe believes that population increase still played a role and has stated "[the forts] provided defensive possibilities for the community at those times when the stress [of an increasing population] burst out into open warfare.

They would be functional as defensive strongholds when there were tensions and undoubtedly some of them were attacked and destroyed, but this was not the only, or even the most significant, factor in their construction".

[3] The hillfort, which is at the top of an isolated outcrop of Oolitic Limestone,[4] close to the A39 road is on the route of the Wansdyke.
